August 19, 2024.   Tall Tail.

Any doubt that Atlas Air, the New York-based cargo airline, has the handsomest tail in all of commercial aviation?

Atlas himself hoisting the world on his shoulders. It’s an apropos motif for a freight carrier, and just an all-around fantastic design: bold, elegant, unmistakable without being too showy. Compare the segmented globe with United’s ugly variant. No contest.
